Yes :3 . A player count/% pause rule set at the host. i.e. A host sets a Pause rule of 3. When a player hits the pause key, the host is sent a pause signal indicating the players intent. All other plays will get a message and or a flashing screen border. When a third player hits the pause key, this ...

While I was walking around town, I passed a video store that was showing some Power Ranger/Masked Rider type show. What caught my eye was the villain/monster didn't walk but rather warped/phased around a few feet from where it originally was. This got me thinking about having a warp engine that does...

Humans have a craze for power. They would want power regardless of cost. Once they get "Twin Everything" they will want "Tri Everything", "Quad Everything", "Quint Everything" etc. I've always like the Mechwarrior concept of weapons loading. You could have X n...

I commented in another post about having a special "VTOL layer" where all VTOLs have to ascend to before moving in any direction. No buildings or terrain should extend into this special layer.

I think all rockets should have the blue glow and missiles have a red glow.

Otherwise the research facility may research low-priority topics and use up your resources. The Auto-research function should then follow (or try to follow) the line of research of the previously researched item. Eg. you start researching Light Cannon, next you'll start research on cannon rounds et...

3. Air units do not consider buildings when doing route finding, often flying directly into them. Can it be fixed as such that there is a special "VTOL height layer" that all VTOLs must ascend to before flying in any particular direction? No building or structures are allowed to be erecte...

I would go for

hold position: do only what the player wants.
guard: only repair damaged buildings/structures.
follow: priority is repair else assist in building new buildings/structures.

I dont know about this. I always hate when trucks are near defense tower that is under attack and truck goes there to fix it and gets killed. very frustrating. I hate it when the trucks that I place near my defences go off trying to fix something they can't reach (i.e. a mortar pit/hellstorm built ...

Thought the Cyberbots images on the 2nd page would have served its purpose as a general guide to your idea.

Instead of consuming energy in WZ, they could stop firing when the energy is gone to zero, forcing the player to stop building and researching to keep the "electronic systems" for the defences running. As I posted earlier, power per shot. Imagine a player with 100+ artillery pieces. You s...

Tunnels are difficult. Even modern armies cannot make them. Tunnels have been a tactical advantage since time immortal. The ancient Chinese used tunnels to break through fortified city walls. The Vietnamese used tunnels very effectively to whoop American troops during the Vietnam war. Even the Pale...

Cyberbots! WooHoo! xD

So here is an idea.to limit the huge number of towers and stuff why not make them consume power to function? Something like 1 power in 1 sec should do it. Maybe have a power per shot like in Total Annihilation. The bigger the gun, the higher the drain. Then the AI would just make too many power gen...

Ooh! Total Annihilation spider tanks. Now we need stun lasers.
